Yesterday morning, at 11 o'clook, Geitribal! yard was crowded by the ft-Wilda of the widens Candidates, murthe whole of theviei nity became a saws of bwitle aha confusion.

Mr. NU!, the Moshe!, with a strong party' of officers, found it everemely difficult to keep the hustings clear. The circumstance which excited most speculation was the course expected to he taken by the friends of Aldermen Garrett. At one o'clock the Lord layer, accompanied by the Court of Aldermen and City Officers, entered the Hall. It was so intensely crowded that a passage was only obtained for them after a desperate contest. After the usual Proclamation— The LORD Alxvon came forward, and said he had no doubt that they were all, of whatever petty, assembled there with one common object, the Ovenceroent of the honour end welfare of the City_(APldauee)---and he hoped the result would be the return of four of the fittest men of the Ave who (mine forward as candi dates,. lie had been encouraged by the premise of as numerous and as respectable a body of the Livery as ever came forward 011 similar occasions, to oiler himself as one of the eandidetes. He assured there that. lie entertained so high a sense of the im ortance of the, office,. and . the difficulty of performing it, that he ahoald not have, stood in such a situation unless he Ind been urged, by the ardent wishes of his friends.---. Though he had filled for several years a situation from which they h 54 by firetrur generally idiom' their Representatives, yet he did nut think that alone, or the circumstance of a person of coMpe ten% 'intuits being willing to serve as a Representative, con stituted a claim to have so important A trust reposed in him. Before he acceded to the wiebee of hies friends, he made diligent ioluiry as to the persona who were likely to tome forward ; for Ire woe determined not to interfere. with the just pretensions of any one. Amongst ethers, lie applied to his predecessor in the Civic Mail., Alderman Garrett, and was positively assured by him, that he weed(' never serve as a Representative ill Par -141134 t•--(Flews, hear !)—His Lordship, therefei e, concluded that he could not be a party to ,this• measures carried to the extent they tow were with respect to itiut , ...(Applause.)—lfis Lord ship declared himself to be the friend of constitutional liberty; to the free exercise of trade, and individual industry; net to those delusive combinations and rash speculations, which had recently proved so disastrous.

Mr. WARn presented- himself in the front of the huStiuga, and, bowing to the , assembly, was received in the • roost flat= tering manner. Front the reiterated, welcomes be met with it was some moments before he could be beard.- Silence hating been obtained, he addressed them as follows ;-41e aahl, that it was not till he had been told that three out of the tour Members that had represented them last Session, would not pre sent themselves on this occasion, that he had' ventured to put him self ibrward to aspire to the high honour of being one of their representatives. He certainly laboured under the utmost difficulty' when he considered that he had to opposb four able men, men of tuti virsal knowledge; and it could not be expected that he could alone ,be of great utility to the city of London, but with the co-operation of thoae. Gentlemen he would conscientiously assert, that he would do every thing iu his power to deserve the high honour (should he hs so' fortunate as to be chosen one of their Represente tiVes), confined upon him. He hoped that they would not re- fuse to elect him because he was merely a British merchant, and not holding any distinguished post in their corporation.— (No, no, go on, front all quarters.)—He had always, and he was proud to own it, had expressed himself unfavourable to the Catho lic Question, and he would always support the interests of the British Manufacturer* and Commercial Interests generally, and if he could prevent it, there should be none but. British manufactures exported from this country.—(Chetra.)—He wish ed to remind them, that hn wished nu more of the Li very than they bestowed on Mr. Wilson, and if they trusted fhitnselves in his hands, they might rely on him being faithful to their interests; and whether they placed him at the head or the .bottont of the poll, he should always consider this one of the happiest days in his 1ife........(L0ttd and repeated cheers.) On Mn Ward sitting down, the Crier proceeded to put the whole of the Aldermen's names in rotation, in the natal way, to a show of hands; The Right Honourable-the • LORD Mayon. was put first, and about 200 or 250 hands were held up in his favour. '• The next was_.,.. Mr. Alderman Tuostrsolv, which was very general indeed, and his name was received with reiterated shouts of applause in every direction, Alderman Wood's name was then announced, and a veet num ber held up their hands, and called out, " Wood for ever !" Mr. Ward was then named, and we may fairly say, that nearly ell held up their hands in the body of the Hall, as alm did those on the hustings, and the loudest ace - lunation' followed. Alderman GARRAiT'R mime was next announced, and there were certainly more hands held up for him than the Lord Mayor, AltierMin WAIT/MAW was next announced, end the show of hands was very general. In a few minutes after, the Crier put the candidates in tiornhw thin! in the following order-... ALDERMAN THOIIIIOI4, MR. WAP.D, ALDRRHAN .I.I..DRRMAK fIARRAIT, WOOD, inn LORD MANOR.

M won is r was in Some degree restored, Alderman Warrnataw began his address. He assured the elector,' that the higirgratification he then felt did not arise from the unexpected eircinnstance of his being at the head of the pell, for lie knew that that circumstance, on the first day of an election, was Ho criterion of the- public feeling. The majorityon the &it day might arise from the superior industry ofa candidate, or a va riety pt eircumstanees which would in Ho way affect th e genera l result oldie election. But he cou ld not conceal his satisfaction (after having hefore staled that he relied solely upon public feeling for his support); at the ardour with 'Which the numbers in his fa vour bad been received. )—lt was n satisfaction to him to know, that they who opposed him on this oceasitin bad not at tempted' to impute any interested motives to a n y of his actions; for,:however some pelsoos might think hie ardour : was applied, still he claimed (and no one bad daredto dispute the Act) purity for his motives. If the preeent contest was that of an individual, and involved only the character of him self or any other candidate, it, would not he' Worth the at tendonce of the Livery ; but be looked upon this contest as that of public „freedom. It waa the ruse of the Livery gene rally;' and he looked upon himaell only as the instrument to represent their feelings in the pursuit of their great object.— Howeim., if they wished to have their victory complete, he ceded on them to exert themselves, and he would assert, that if the one.iourth of the Livery would only exert themselvei, their triumph would be complete.—(Cheers.)---it was well known that Saturday was the unfavournble 'M the popu lar candidates, and far tisn reason—that they relied on the in dustrioua chases, and that it was inconvenient to those classes to give lip their usual nvoeetions and attend on diet day. How ever, he had a confident reliaoce on their exertions even on that isiconvestient day.. He Would not detain the livery with more than one or two ohtervationi in addition to what he had said. It was well known that lie was at all times a friend to 'trade. There were, he knew, many who mole the same ,pro fessionii; but even amongst 'those were favourable to free trade, he had found ninny Members of Varliament the advocates of every kind of opecuhition which went to destroy free trade, and homiest inditetry. HoW far he had succeeded in putting an end to such speculations, ha would not say; but ho would state, that When he was in the civic chair, he might, if he had chosen to deal in *hares rue well as other things, have put thousands of pounds in his pocket. He had declined any 'such advantage, and it was only justice to himself to state, that he was the first man in or out of Parliament who bad denounced those ruinous speculations to the public.—(Cheers.) —ln conclusion he would stato, that if the livery did not do their duty on this occasion, they could not fairly complain hereafter of jobs end monopolies, because they themselves would have lent their band to their own destruction. —(Cheers.)—He then expressed a hope that every liveryman would actively exert himself, and he was sure of success.._ (Cheers. ) Alderman Trrompiosi next presented himself, and was received with loud and continued chelring, and waving of hats. He said be was entities on this occasion to express his pride and gratitude at the situation in which the exertions of hie friends had placed him In the poll, and ha hoped that a renewal of those exertions snood have the effect of continuing him in that situation. Ile was perfectly willing that en examination of his public and private conduot ehould be the guide to the votes of the livery on this and all Mbar occasion*. lie would not detain them longer then by thanking them for the support he had received, anti by expressing a firm reliance on their continued exertions.—(Cheerth) Aldermen WOOO came forward, and was received "with loud cheers, mixed with mom marks of disapprobation, but the foinute greatly predornivated. lie said, that when he presented himself a short time before to their notice, he was certain that he should receive the liberal support of their suffrage*, and that they would not desert an old and tried member who had never neglected their interesta. (Cheers.) He found that there were some around him who had a different opinion. It' they had, he called upon them to come forward and state their feelings, mid he was ready tip inect them ; he was ready to meet the whole world on this point, and he challenged an y m an t o come f orwar d to say t h at h e had ever' neglected the interests of any portion of his constituent.% or that in the discharge of his duty he had ever advocated his own. (Loud cheers.) He would only add, look to' his votes, look to his actions, let the lives* judge by these, and rash to the poll.— (Cheers.) The Loan 1 1 141 . 0 R said, that he had before addressed the electors first, ss Lord Mayor. It came now to his turn (from hie situation on the poll) to address them fourth, He begged most sincerely to thank them for the support he had received, and lie sled them he would endeavour to d eserve , th e confidence they slim had thus reposed in him. It was generally thought that a Lord M!yor had a considerable degree of influence in au election. It might be that he had, but he would tell the Livery bow he had exercised) that influence. some time ago, when he had determined to come forward as a candidata, he sent a communication through the heads of the several department, connected with the corpora tion, that It was his anxious wish that every person employed in those offices should vote as ha pleased, without reference to the situation of the candidates. (Cheers, and cries " That's all fair.") If he s h ou ld ho. returned, he w ou ld w i s h i t on l y on public grounds. t was only ntl public grenade he came forward; and if the Livery areettallt'itleod trrerit ttteeirczifikr(teeeenntetatthi:ey, wreopuollenindehaivmou.r (Loud y o ti d s cheers.) bad Mr. 'WARD next Came forward to the f ron t o f t h e b ust i ng ., but for .a short time th e hi es , s of his 6 1tPuttentit, struggling against the cheers of his friends, kept him silent. He made some few attempts to begin, but each effort , seemed to be the signal for a mixed peal of opposing and approving *hoots. At length his friends rose en 'muse; anti give three loud and deafening cheers, accompanied with ,waging of bats and handkerchief. This for :the moment decided the struggle, and his opponents avere silent. Mr. WA nn then began. He Would not, he observed, at that late hour of the day, take upinuch of their time, as he felt that by that time their patience must. be nearly exhausted. lie would be wanting . in candour if he did not Say that the place he then occupied on the poll was not that which be would prefer; but he had seen enough of elections to know that there were great dif ferences between the state of the poll on the first nod the last days Of a contest. He therefore had no reason to despair from his present situation. It 'must be recollected, that . he was new at the task of canvassing. He had all that business. to learn, but stil he would do all in his'power, and he hoped that his exertions would be ably seconded by those of the Livery.-:-.(Cheerr.) No gentleman came'forward to return thanks for Alderman Parrett, ner did the worthy Alderman` himself appear on the hustings during the day. The Sheriffs then adjourned.tbe Hall to nine o'clock to-morrow (this morning), the polling to continue tilltbree. Throughout the (lay the crowd in the Iran was excessive, and the heat, as might be expected, almost intolerable. SOUTHWARK ELECTION. At four o'clock yesterday the High Bailiff announced the state of the poll to be as followe: M. Calvert sir; R. Wilson Mr. Polhill 1465 1989 971 Mr. CaLyrae. declared himself unequal to acknowledge the kindness which he bad .received fora the hands of the electors. Ile understund that a placard had that morning been exhibited, which he was sure could not have proceeded from Mr. Polhill, because he believed that gentleman to be incapable of stating what was untrue.—(Applause.)—The, placard stated that his gallant friend had expended all his money. Ile Jived that his gallant friend bad sufficient , money to , carry on the. contestif it were necessary, but the electors of Srriothwark expected nothing of the kind at his hands. Be requ ' el the crowd, as a particular fa vonr to himself; to hear M• r. • P hill. It was but justice to hear him, and to put a men dem by clamour was most unmanly. He concluded by exhorting. his friends not to relax their exertions until the contest was over.---(Applause.) Sir R. WILSON will received' with much applause, He said, that contrary to his predictions of yesterday, the.eolours of Mr. Polhill were still flying. It toilet be confessed, that die when. his opponent would, lie would die genie, ,because when, his friends put,it into his head that he could dispOseesi himself or Mr. Calvert of his place, they made game,of binne-e( A, laugh.)—The gallant officer then complained of the ibtiduct of some draymen, who had on the previous evening gone to one of his committee-rooms, and insulted end thrown atones at the persons whom they found there. He mentioned this affair, not Oh account of any personal appre hension, but because it might hereafter be alluded to in the House of' Commons. It would not, he thought, be out of place to show how a representative in those days conducted himself towards his electors, which he would tin by repeating a letter written by Mr. Henley, a member of the House of Commons, to his constituents. It ran thus :—" Gentlemen," (he did them that honour,) " I have received your letter, and am astonished at your impudence in talking to me about the excise. Von know what I know,-that I bought you ; and I know what, perhaps, you did not think I knew—that you are about selling yourselves again to a better bidder. I know what, perhaps, also you do not know—that I am bidding for a better set of constituents. 'ln conclusion, I hope9'ou will all go to the devil; and that your homes will he as i common to the exciseman as every thing belonging to you was to me diming the aims I solicited your suffrages."*.(Cheers, ,and laughter. )—That extraordinary letter was en historical record.— He was informed that Mr. Polbill's friends said that the electors of Southwark did not want for their representative a man who had bled .in Spain, but one .who would bleed in his pocket. They had got such a man in. Mr. Polhill; they had bled him pretty freely, and he believed that, he smarted a little under the Sangrado system. The same party asserted 'that be (Sir R. Wilson) had spent all his money; but had they forgotten that. he was an old soldier, and could contrive to spend half-a-crown nut of sixpence e-day 2—(Cheere.)—Mr. Polhill avowed himself a reformer, which included a wish for a reformation of the law. If he. were to present himself before the Lord Chancellor under such circumstances, would not his Lordship hesitate to adopt him .as his child 7 awl, on the other land, could he appear before Mr. Canning dieorated with his orange coloins?—(Applause.)...... There was no place open 14 the worthy Gentleman hut the Bench of Bishop% nod there he bell some claim to go, because he was a sort of turnip' hut, perhaps, the reverend gentle Men might hook upon him as a sort of Paul Pry, and acs, " we want Oo in truders,"_(4 laugh.)—The Gallant Officer concluded by thank ing his friends for the situation in which they bad placed him on the poll. Mr. Por.,itm, next addiessed the crowd, sod we., beard With' more attention than on any previous occapion. Ile expressed himself sorry that Tae should be indebted to the exertions 'of Mr. Calvert for t lteating rather than to the kindness and good sense of the electors. He was nr.t aware that he had done, any thing which could give offence...,( , You have not," and applatiee.)— In consequence of what bud fallen from Sir R Wilson, be felt it necessary to declare, that nothing offensive!, to the .other.candi. dates bail ever been cMinteeaked . by Be still felt great confidence as to the result of tht:. exertions which his friends wire: making in his.behalf.

Mr. Minor, o; the part of Mr. Volhill's committee, deehm , l that they had no share whatever in the outrage' which had bcwn alluded to by Sir R.

CAM.HRIbtIIC, June 9.—(Front a Correspondent.)._.l have this instant left the Town-hall, and send you an account of what I saw there. The place was crowded to excess, in fact though I have seen rows of all kinds, I never saw more pushing 11114 fighting than took place this mottling. At a little atter ten, the Alayor, Cor poration, and candidates appeared and took their places; the usual preambleofhie,,ing,clapping, &C. aniong the mob, a speed) front the Mayor that nobody heard, and the reading of half a dosen Acts of Parliament by the Recorder that nobody listened to, ushered in the business of the day. The Marquis of Graham was MIA proposed as a fit person to represent the borough. After a short, I may say disapproving round of applause, of that dead- kind which we hear from • those who feel they ought, yet don't will; to glee it, the Noble Marquie made his vetch ; he hoped he should succeed, he would stick to the King and Constitution ; would uphold the local interests of the Borough, and so forth. His lipeeth gained' him a few plaudits, and he sat down. Colonel Trench was next proposed, he was received more warmly, and made a very good harangue, wherein he declared his resolution 'to oppose the Catholi c ques ti on . Thi s ca ll e d forth a grand burst of ap pietist ; cries of "stick to that, and you are the man!" Trench tbr ever ! spread from the Town Hall to the crowds assembled on the market-place. 'The Gallant Colonel then proceeded to state, that he was very independent, and would not give his vote against his conscience, even to please his constituents. This part I think he pushed a little too far, as the eheers. people began to slacken' in their Mr. ' Pryine was then proposed, and perhapir better reeeirad than the Colonel. lie : declatad that he eppeartd only at the pressing instance of his friends ; and stated, that though no one could have a higher respect for the Noble Marquis acid the Gal.'. lent Colonel, yet he thought that A borOughl only &Q miles north . of . London, might find re p re seotativee from among its own - hody, and 'need not fetch their from Scot land or ' Ireland. He . did not mean to say that the countries of the two. Mon. Gentl e men should uttfit them for the seats belonging to an En g li a h•H omug h, but, that were he himself to stand in Scotland or in Ireland, he would expect the lineos ser or at least let us first try to find one d our neighbours with wh om to say you are an linglimh—trian, ge t r eturned in your own country, we may trust our inter e st s . ' 1k was sorr y to find somuch resp ect paid to an externs' power which ruled the Cambridge Elections, and asserted that few. : were less free. --, (Loud cries of hear ! they are the Duke' s men; sm.)_ffe di d' not understand f what the Hon. Gentlemen meant by upholding Wee Constitution. Parliaments? Every ne w A c t of. Ptah/intent must tend to alter If ao , alterations, 110 innovation", were to lle-sfioseed, why have' the Constitution a little. his p u t him' in mind of a handsome' how; which at list begina to decal' ; '4 tile f ells off s;the dry rot , gets' into the floors;nre; must no one touch the roof or t h e woodivork ? With regent to the Catholics, observed MI% Pirtle, befotv you deny them newts to public- offices; prove that any danger can result from their admission. Do Catholics make bad Jurymen ? Where they must decide on the lives and property of all ranks. - But not to enter into any discussion on the subject, did the Gallant Colonel . oppose a motion, carried unanimously some time ago for adding something to their privileges? After en larging on this subject, Mr. Pryme declared, that he did not at present wish to come activelrforward, but moved the burgesses to elect, without proceeding to pully the Noble Marquis and Gallant Colonel. This speech produced ouch enthushestie applause as to iii terrupt for some time all further proceedings. At bat the Recorder obtaiUed a hefting; be wished to ask the Gallant Colima three ques tions, which, es one of the Burgesses, he:could not supprees. First, then, did not the Colonel, in answer to a. friend's enquiry where he had been to, say, " I have-just been lying with the Cambridge Freeholders, !". Hadbe not in his possession a book, wherein was written an aetentne of the profession, fortune, &c., of each Freeholder of, the Borough ? and lastly, had he not another hook containing their respective characters? The Recorder then said, that as the borough was a very close one, some regard should he had to the wishes of the numerous inha bitants noffreeholders, and that he therefore would propose to them a gentleman for whom they could not but have the greatest regard ; in fact, though Mr. Adeane was absent, he had no doubt but he did well to propose him. It was long before Colonel Trench could obtain a heating, so incensed against him were the mob. At last he managed to de clare that he was perfectly ignorant of the first and bet chirps ; as to the second, he pleaded guilty, but where watt the harm of having a written account of the names, fortunes, and professions of the mcst respectable Freeholders he had ever met with. He would have said more, but the uproar was so great that at last he gnve up the attempt. When order wee in some measure restored, the Mayor ordered that those who thought the Marquie Graham a fit person to be returned, should • hold up their hands. A few, and very kw, moved ; a greater number showed for Col. Trench ; but for PrOne were exhibited hands, hats, gloves, any thing to draw at tention, The iNlayor declared, therefore, that the greatest num ber appeared for Trench and Pryme, and wished to know if any free burgess demanded a poll. Immediately Mr. Abbott, who had proposed the Marquis, demanded oue, and they proceeded quietly to poll. At this juncture I left the Hall. Nothing, however, of import ance, ensued ; Pryme, owing to his so modestly withdrawing bad but 4 votetri Graham, ':) , t ; curl Trench, 98. The twe last therefore being duly returned, and having `thanked their eon. etitnents, the mob separated, and minuted .themselves by throwing .at each other 'dead cats and dogs, and other such sports of true British growth. Pryme is certainly a great favouritt-at'Cambridge,:and there is little doubt that he may succeed whenever he will take the trouble to put himself forward. The Gownsmen have for once been peaceably inclined, nor has the usual fighting' taken place between them and the. town.. Whether the present quiet will last, may be very reasonably quOstioned. SUDBURY ELECTION. On Thursday evening, a meeting of the friends of Mr. %frond, was held at the Green Man, in Whitechapel. Mr. Rowley appeared as his representative, and offered to attend next morning and put down thirty 'shillings to each elector, as travel ling expellees to Sudbury, and" promised as much after the election, for expellees back. A gentleman in the room objected to this as illegal under Lord John Russell's resolutions, and said the only sate way was fur the electors to go down in travelling carriages, provided by the Can didates, who should also defray the expences of refreshments, at the Inns on the road. Most of the freemen preserit objected to this, and declared for the thirty shillings, laying, they could save something for their families out of the'rnoney, and the more so, if two candidates would • each pay their expenses. Some said they would take the thirty shillings, .and then ride down in the carriage provided by inch of thg other candidates, as they might be inclined to support with their second votes. Much clamour ensued, in which the words " Independence,r " Ancient Rights," " Corruption," " Grampound and Disfran chisement," were occasionally audible. The disposition of the Y.lectora seemed to he not to pay much regard to the opinion either of Lord John Russell or his Resolutions. CHICHESTER ELECTION. The. election of t h e Members to represent this City in Parlia ment commenced yesterday. There are thiee cenditlates, viz. Lord George Lennox, Mr. Poyntx, and Sir Godfrey Webster. Sir Godfrey and his friends, at as early an hour as half-past ten, took pmeeesion of the Hosting', which are ;r•ected in front of the Mar t House. At eleven, the Mayor, accompanied by Lord George and Mr. Poynts, made their appearance, when his Lordship veer proposed by William Thomas WilName, Esq., in a neat speech, and second ed by Wm. Humphrey, Esq.' Mr. Poynts wius then proposed by Francis Diana, Esq., and seconded by Alderman Cabby. Bir Godfrey was proposed by s j person of the name of Richman * and .eronded by Mr. Foliage, the Socinian Minister, in 4 speech of half an hour, containing the usual quantum of vituperation. The several candidates then addressed the Meeting,. after which the polling commenced, which, at the close at four p. m. stood thus :--- Lord George Lennox Mr. Poyott - Sir G. 'Webster - It is considered thst' there ere about sight or nine hocked voters in Chiehester. BEAMARI s. —:-Eleetion to commence Tuesday the lath int.

The papers on Electricity, &c, which were briefly read at the last Meeting, and of which we promised some further account, were communicated by "W. Snow Harris, Esq. The leading point investigated was the conducting powers of different metals in a gaseous medium. It had been previously ascertained - that in passing an electric discharge along a metallic rod, a certain de gree of heat is produced, which accumulates in a greater degree in proportion as the conducting power of the metal is less; of this power, therefore, th e h eat affords a measure, supposing due precautions taken to secure the constancy of the other conditions ; such as the capacity of the surrounding medium, the radiating ; power of the metal, and the intensity of the electric discharge. A great variety of expen ments were detailed. At the present meeting there was read the Bakerian Lecture by Sir H. Davy, Pres. R. 8.; and a paper by J. South, Esq. F.R.S. was announced, containing astronomical observations on certain irregularities in the Sun's motion ;. together with a description of his new transit instrument. Of the former highly important. and interesting com municatioii, relative to the chemical.and electrical rela tions and .affections of matter, our present limits will not allow us to give any adequate account; we shall ret at to the Subject at a future opportunity.
